Brilliant video. Thank you so much.
Kept pausing and trying things out on my 14 Ultra 🙏🏽
Thank you! Glad it was helpful to you 🙌🏻
I have Xiaomi 14 "only" but these phones are amazing camerawise... jawdroping what they can do while they are just phones... I'm very pleased with my choice.
Thx for the video! Very good and detailed.
Very nice video... This i am searching for last 3 4 days ... Awesome 💯
Thank you for this wonderful deep dive into the camera app. Everything was well explained. This is really what I was looking for.
Thank you so much! Glad the video was helpful to you!
Thank you for your video, exactly what I needed to get a feel for capturing photos/videos. Happy to see it does have focus peaking which was my greatest desire
You're welcome!
Thanks brother for providing such a detailed review of the camera. I must say that the camera features of this mobile are insane.
You're welcome! Absolutely, the camera features are truly comprehensive and leave nothing to be desired.
Superb video, very detailed and informative! thank you!
Thank You 👍🏻
thank you so much for your video.
You're welcome 😊
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
Great work 👏
Can you confirm the available resolution for taking slow motion and short Film please
the best video review I have ever seen on youtube. I did research and nobody does similar video review like you do. please can you deep dive more in Leica photo/video filters and LUTs? key part of the camera is Leica colors, so another video for filters/luts would be great. thanks
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for your video
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting.
Great job, man
Thanks for the visit!
Great video, thank you! Can we expect to see it in action as well? Subscribed ❤
Thank you for subscribing! When you mention "showing it in action," are you referring to a demonstration of how to capture photographs using the phone, presented in a vlog-style format?
There is no manual for the camera app so it is hard to know what everything does. This was very useful. Some questions:
1. Have you figured out the limitations depending on modes? For example, if Dolby Vision is on, I cannot switch lenses during a recording. If I shoot at certain resolution/frame rate then HDR may become unavailable. A table/matrix would be nice
2. What is the difference between HDR in white and red?
3. What is source tracking? You mention it but dont explain
4. What is "Dynamic Shots" in photo mode
5. I notice the camera app drains the battery very fast even when just on view finder. Around 3-4X faster. Do you know of any way to improve this? Perhaps turning off certain features?
Very nice question, it's interesting for me, you are finding information about your questions?
Thanks, the best in-depth I have seen so far. 😍
I do, however, have a question: can you adjust and even remove all the artificial sharpening? Especially for video? Or do you know, if the phone even sharpens the image when recording LOG video?
Cause if it does not, this might be my new phone. I just hat all of this over-sharpening that phones do... (need a good B-Cam besides my Mirrorless Camera).
I'm afraid that's not possible. You can't adjust the amount of post-processing. Even in log mode, the phone just applies a different color curve, which doesn't really relate to processing adjustments or the codec.
@@JMTMarc Okay, damn... but thank you. Gonna have to wait for the Sony Xperia 1 VI then.
Fantastic explanation
Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you
You're welcome 🤗
i was interested on the Pro Mode. it interesting that can also shoot in LOG. and the ability to set your own style on the camera itself is a game changer.
It is! I still have to do some testing in the Log mode to see how good it is, but in general I am a big fan of Log shooting and use it constantly on my system cameras.
@@JMTMarc waiting for an update on that
This is absolutely splendid - thank you so much.
Can I ask where you got all the information from? I can't find any good resource - until now - and become frustrated spending hours searching.
Thank you! I figured everything out mostly by myself.
@@JMTMarc I do wish there were proper documentation. But I suppose the days when things came with a manual are long gone.
How much zoom is possible in movie mode?
Hola buen día ,e visto tus videos acerca de este móvil y aunque no es perfecto creo que es la mejor opción para alguien que quiera captar, capturar y grabar buenos momentos de su vida de su día a día e incluso como herramienta de trabajo gracias por brindar tan excelente información sobre este móvil gran canal sigue adelante
Your assessment is spot on! Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting video. I heared there is an app to connect the phone with another one for helping video recording you know how this works?
Thank you! I have no idea how this works. But there is a director mode in the camera app, which allows for connecting other phones as monitors.
Great video! Can you download some of your log videos and let us know more info like bitrate?
I just recorded some 4K 30fps Log Video and the average Bitrate is 40 Mb/s.
@@JMTMarc thanks! so around 320Mbps per second. Quite high.
thank you for the great video; I was wondering about the postproduction software, how is it?
It's actually quite powerful and i also made a video about the app.
@@JMTMarc I saw it after writing you the note, thanks for the answer and thanks for being so complete in your analysis of the camera and the software!
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!
Nice Review 👍🏾
Thank you! 😊
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks for this. I also noted the burst drive mode which I don't see documented anywhere. This is enabled by dragging shutter button right. Unfortunately, I can't see how to activate it in pro mode so its not so useful without being able to adjust the shutter speed to capture fast movement.
Oh, that's an interesting point. It's quite strange that despite offering a timed burst mode, the Pro mode doesn't allow for burst shooting. That seems like an oversight.
@@JMTMarc Indeed. I've seen it work very well on the Sony Xperia phones for example but with the Xiaomi, my attempts at burst mode with my fast moving dog were too blurry to be used and adjusting to a fast shutter speed is only available in pro mode. Frustrating...
Great video. Love the style. Question for you, is it worth upgrading to the 14 ultra if I have the 14 pro? Are the cameras that much of a difference between the two? The 14 pro has a 1.4 f stop vs the ultra 1.6. Is the 1inch sensor that big of a deal?
Thanks
Depends. If u r really into photography and if u take a lot of pics I think its worth it to upgrade to the Ultra. Most of the other specs are the same.If not just keep the Pro
I'm afraid I'm not able to provide a good answer to your question, because I have no experience with the 14 Pro, as it's not available globally. I'm sorry.
Hi! TOlles video! Eine frage: in den Infos der Kamera ist die Rede von einem erweiterten Sucher für Strassenfotografie, den finde ich aber nirgends. Weißt du zufällig wo der ist oder sein soll?
Danke! Schau mal bei 26:39, der Modus nennt sich "Fast-Shot Mode".
@@JMTMarc ach danke dir, wusste nicht dass der damit gemeint ist. Weil da ja einfach nur n Viereck gezogen ist. Dachte man kann damit einen Ausschnitt stark heranzoomen wie bei einer Kamera um zb den Fokus zu überprüfen
Please answer.. can you tell me if I should use HDR or Master Cinema? Which one has better Quality?
I still need to figure out the differences and advantages...
Amazing work mate... Having a doubt. Does the phone can record log on all lenses in pro video mode?
Thank you! Great question! I forgot to mention this. Log recording is only available with the main sensor (wide lens). When you use one of the other lenses and enable log, it will switch back to the main lens.
Thanks a lot mate!
Please don't mind if i ask one more question.Ummm... What's with the long exposure mode... Does it locks to main sensor only or available to all lenses?
do you know what LUT do i need to colour the LOG video footage?
Unfortunately, Xiaomi does not provide an official correction LUT to convert from Log to Rec709. They have some LUTs in the editing app, but not for other editing software.
@@JMTMarc what editing app?
I saw in the video, you can add and install luts to videos, but in photo, I didn’t see any option to install filters. Did I miss that"?
That's correct. You can use custom Lists but you cannot install filters.
Movie Mode to me seems to be recording not really smooth, especially when moving the Phone. The Auto-Zoom shown in your video also looks a bit unsmooth. Is that normal?
I did not test it enough to say anything about it.
Hii. I am owning Xiaomi 14 and it's shifting to telephoto lense in 2.6x zoom. Even, it's the same case for 14 ultra. In the video, 2:20, when you were scrolling the zoom wheel, I can see, in 2.6x, the telephoto lense is shifting. Don't know, why Xiaomi is marketing this as, 75mm lense.
The 75mm lens is 3.2x. It shifts when reaching 3.2x zoom.
Vielen Dank
Gerne! Vielen Dank für den Kommentar.
Great video but did you had any lens fogging issues, many people are having it especially in colder areas…?
Fogging issue I was only applicable to a small batch. Xiaomi said they will replace any of those with fogging issues for free.
@@YogaLifeEtc can you mention the source of information where they said that?
Yes, I had some condensation in the beginning, but it disappeared. However I know a lot of buyers that had serious condensation issues and were not able to fix it.
@@JMTMarc is it true that once you get rid of it, it’s gone for good?
It varied for different users. I've been in touch with users on a large forum and some reporters who attempted to address the issue by recording 8K for an extended period with the SIM card tray removed. Initially, condensation appeared to dissipate, but it returned later. However, the situation still seems somewhat unpredictable.
Is the 1080P 960 fps interpolated too or is it just the 1920 fps? Also, could you post a sample video at 1080P 960 fps?
I suppose it's interpolated as it shows some artefacts.
@@JMTMarc How about the 480 fps? Could you post slowmo samples at all frame rates in 1080P? It would be a big help. I haven't really seen any slowmo samples yet.
That's a good idea! I will consider it 👍🏼
@@JMTMarc please do! It will be a massive help.
What about 50MP Raw? Does that work? And if so, does it work on all cameras?
50MP RAW only works on the main lens.
@@JMTMarc okay, thank you!
What about the lens fogging issue?? I am ready to buy it but lens fogging issue scared me.
Hard to say. Mine is gone. Some have it, some not.
Why these camera phones don't use zoom when focusing option like opencamera or hedgecam apps? I use it a lot instead of focus peaking.
I don't get it. Zooming and focusing are two completely different things.
@@JMTMarc It autozooms 4x-6x the preview screen while you are adjusting with manual focus. Super helpful for text etc. I don't get it why this function is available on 3rd party apps only.
Okay! I get it. That's also available in some cameras. Indeed very useful for nailing focus.
Can it shoot 8k video accross all rear cameras?
Yes, it can! But HDR is only available on the main lens.
Why can't i use fastshort mode in my xiaomi 14?
It's only availiable on the 14 Ultra.
Sui Video about the Xiaomi 14 Pro
In mine, the grid is all white, I see that in yours there is a little piece in red.
Could be the focus peaking
Couldn't wait to get the camera kit, problem is it doesn't work properly, you cant use EV compensation when in pro mode, if you set it to say,, shutter speed or ISO instead, that doesn't work in normal mode, set the zoom lever up, it doesn't work in pro mode, and you cant re-allocate to another function other than zoom which doesn't work in pro mode, surely most of the folk willing to fork out for the camera kit are photographers, professional or armature looing for that familiar feel and control, so why set the dam thing up this way it makes it almost useless, /gutted
EV compensation is functional in Pro mode, along with every other setting adjustable via the dial. Naturally, it is not available in normal mode, as this mode does not support adjustments to ISO, shutter speed, etc. Unfortunately, the zoom lever is currently inoperative, but this issue could be easily resolved with a firmware update. Hopefully, Xiaomi will address this soon.
@@JMTMarc EV mode will not work on mine in Pro, no matter how i configure it, do it in pro mode, no effect, do it in normal mode, works fine, but then wont work in pro mode
@@JMTMarc not only that, but every time i disconnect an re-connect the battery grip to get to the grip options , it changes the camera back to "photo mode" changing those settings instead
Your videos are different
Thanks!
